What is NDIS Behaviour Support?
Behaviour Support is a specialist, evidence-based service funded through the NDIS under the Improved Daily Living budget. It’s designed to help people with disability — and the people who support them — understand and respond to challenging behaviour in a positive, person-centred way.
The core question we always start with is: “What is this behaviour trying to communicate?” Behaviour doesn’t happen for no reason. It’s a signal — of unmet need, sensory overload, anxiety, communication difficulty, or something in the environment that isn’t working for the person.
At Brave Mental Health, we use Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) — a framework endorsed by the NDIS and grounded in decades of evidence. PBS focuses on improving quality of life, building skills, and reducing the need for restrictive practices.
The NDIS Requires a Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner for:
- Writing or reviewing a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)
- Authorising the use of any restrictive practices
- Monitoring and reporting on restrictive practice reduction
- Providing PBS-based intervention to participants
Himani Arora is a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner meeting the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission’s requirements.
Behaviour Support for a Wide Range of Conditions
We support individuals across the lifespan — from toddlers to adults — with a wide range of diagnoses and presentations.
Behaviours We Can Help With
You don’t need to have a label for the behaviour. If it’s affecting quality of life — yours or your loved one’s — we want to help.
How We Work With You
Initial Consultation
A free 20-minute conversation to understand your situation and whether we’re the right fit.
Functional Assessment
We gather information through interviews, observation, and validated tools to understand the function of behaviour.
Behaviour Support Plan
A personalised, NDIS-compliant BSP written in plain language — practical strategies for the whole support team.
Implementation & Coaching
We coach you, your family, and your support workers to implement the plan confidently and consistently.
Monitoring & Review
Regular reviews and data monitoring to track progress and adjust strategies as the person’s needs change.
Using Your NDIS Funding for Behaviour Support
Behaviour Support is funded through your NDIS plan under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living (Support Category 15). It’s separate from your Support Coordination and Core Supports.
We primarily support plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants, including children using Early Childhood funding.
We invoice your plan manager directly. Simple and easy — you don’t need to handle any payments.
We invoice you directly and you claim reimbursement from the NDIS portal. You have full flexibility.
Not sure what your plan covers? We can help you understand your behaviour support funding before you book.
Children under 7 with developmental concerns can access behaviour support through the NDIS Early Childhood approach — often without needing a formal diagnosis. Ask us about this pathway.
Common Behaviour Support Situations
Every person is different, but families often recognise parts of their own week in these examples. They are general scenarios, not promises of a specific outcome.
School mornings are escalating
A child may be refusing school, melting down during transitions, or becoming distressed before the day has even started.
Behaviour support may involve mapping triggers, simplifying morning demands, building visual routines, and helping home and school use the same calm response plan.
Support workers respond differently
A participant may have several people around them, but each person uses different language, boundaries, and escalation steps.
A Behaviour Support Plan can give the team shared scripts, proactive strategies, early warning signs, and clear steps for responding safely and respectfully.
Risk is increasing at home
Families may be worried about aggression, property damage, running away, self-injury, or behaviour that affects siblings and carers.
Support begins with understanding what is driving the risk, then building prevention strategies, safer routines, and coaching for the people providing day-to-day care.
